Talking of which, which is the more distressing Americanism, do you think? 'I'm good' to mean 'I'm fine' or 'Can I get...?' when you mean 'May I have...?'?

Both distress me hugely.

And don't get me started on 'reaching out'.

YES!

"Can I get?"
And I am WELL, thank-you.

I thought it was just me.

The very worst crime of all, of course, is being asked "What's up?". To which I answer "The sky".
